In case anyone is working on a solution to the problem presented in my

an answer. It follows:

I want,

I inherited these files recently. From what I have learned, the xslt
is
processing as it should. I have not, however, been able to figure out
how to get the desired output.

You are using <xsl:value-of> here. Surely that's not what you want. You
don't want the *value* (which returns a string representation of the
nodes in the select expression) but a *copy* of all the nodes. Change
"value-of" to "copy-of" and you are done (it will copy comment nodes
and
processing instructions as well but not the opening xml declaration).
Another little thing, why the for-each? You can remove it and just use:
<xsl:copy-of select="document(@loc)" />
(it is only from xslt 2.0 that document(xx) function can be used on a
sequence and will return multiple documents, in which case the for-each
could make sense)

Aha, I see. Sorry, missed that post, just spotted it. I misunderstood
your question then, sorry.
But there are a few redundancies here. The xsl:for-each is not needed.
And the extra variable 'xx' is not needed either. You can change your
code as follows (less lines, same results)
<xsl:template match="n1:share">
<xsl:variable name="x" select="@item" />
<xsl:for-each select="document(@loc)//*[(_at_)id=$x]">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

Thank you, Sir, it works well.
FYI, we have since made my target xml less redundant. Previously the
structure of the target xml was defined by the source in order to
maintain format integrity from source to target. This method was not
the most efficient.
In this instance, using <xsl:apply-templates select="."/> instead of
<xsl:value-of> allows us to use one target element for all source
elements we want.
So,
<xsl:template match="n1:share">
<xsl:variable name="x" select="@item" />
<xsl:for-each select="document(@loc)//*[(_at_)id=$x]">
<xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
<p/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
Allows target.xml,
<Oproc>
<Para>
<share loc="source.xml" item="op"/>
<----"op" is id value of parent element in source---->
</Para>
</Oproc>
And returns,
<Oproc id="op">
<Para>
<bold id="ao1">text1</bold>
</Para>
<Para id="ao2">text2</Para>
<Para>
<Bold id="ao3">text3</Bold>
</Para>
<Para id="ao4">text4</Para>
<Para id="ao5">text5</Para>
<Para id="ao6">text6</Para>
<Para>
<Caution id="ao7">text7</Caution>
</Para>
</Oproc>
Now I'm wondering if I've created more redundancy in the xslt. Hhmm.
Thanks again!
